The people in charge of the show will be able to tell you if you can set up a torch at an indoor show. Sometimes even outdoor shows refuse open flames. Some Fire Marshalls say no. Sometimes you need to provide all of the right items like a fire extinguisher, fire retardant table covers and have the Fire Marshall approve it first.

Sometimes the owners of the grounds being used for the show won't approve torches. Check it out carefully before you pay for the space rent.

The next thing to do is purchase insurance. You can buy it per show through some insurance companies. It will cover theft, loss of goods to and from the show and damages from your table being knocked over etc. One time the wind came up and the tent next to mine wasn't anchored down properly and flew onto my tent..

Some shows you will need your resell certificate and business license to prove you are a legitimate business and you will collect taxes on goods sold.
Hope this helps?
